Re: Inflation and Taxation

.
Here in TX, they started doing something similar. It's a cash grab. Just like the credit card reader at the window at the DMV with its 2.34% fee ( cash grab ). Everything seems to come down to a cash grab these days.

Even with a bill of sale and solid proof of the purchase price, if the DMVs calculated value is higher, that's what we pay taxes on!

I think in OPs case though the difference is obvious enough to get the decision reversed.

It is also possible that just going and talking to a different clerk may produce a different outcome! Not all clerks have the same level of... er... concentration or dedication to the tasks in front of them. Some like to nail the customer to the regulations while others don't really seem to give a hoot! YMMV.
